Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 1 can Sprite
- 1 tablespoon Kool-Aid Tropical Punch Liquid Drink Mix
- 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup
- 1 tablespoon half and half
- Sliced strawberries
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Begin your journey by washing the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel. Once they’re dry, remove the green tops and slice the strawberries into thin rounds. This will help them release their natural juices and make it easier to combine them with other ingredients. Don’t forget to set aside some pretty slices for garnish later!
Step 2: Create the Strawberry Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Use a spoon to gently toss everything together. The sugar will draw out the juiciness of the strawberries, while the lemon adds a delightful zing. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to develop a luscious syrup.
Step 3: Mix the Sprite
While your strawberries are marinating, grab a large pitcher and pour in a couple of cans of Sprite. This bubbly beverage will be the base of your Strawberry Delight. The carbonation not only adds thrill but also enhances the fresh strawberry flavor. Stir it gently to preserve the fizz!
Step 4: Combine and Serve
After the strawberries have marinated, gently fold them into the pitcher with the Sprite. Take your time, as this is where the magic happens—witness how the strawberry syrup swirls and transforms the drink into a dazzling crimson delight. Pour the mixture into glasses filled with ice, and don’t hold back on the strawberry garnishes!
